Paul Hamm, Give it Back!
Re: U.S. Officials Reject Appeal for Medal: Request to Hamm Termed 'Outrageous'; IOC Won't Award 2nd Medal
Thus far, I've managed to avoid this hot topic, which is boiling over here in Korea, but the USOC's embarrassing response to FIG's gentlemanly request has promoted me to post. Paul Hamm will feel much better about himself in twenty years if he gives the gold medal to Yang Tae Youn. Instead, he will be looking at a medal he knows he holds to due to a scoring error and rightfully belongs to a better athlete.

Redeemed by Our Savior, I work out my salvation with fear and trembling in Pohang, South Korea, where I live with my wife, daughter, and son and teach English at a science and technology university. Baptized a Methodist and raised a Missouri Synod Lutheran in Buffalo, NY, I spent six years as a guest of the Anglican Communion before being received by the Grace of God into the One Holy Catholic and Apostolic Church on the Feast of Saint Andrew, my patron, anno domini 2002.
